Maintenance/Troubleshooting (Continued)

B. What To Do If...

Smoke is in the kitchen. Check the following:

Is the hood sized appropriately for the type of cooking equipment

it is ventilating?

The purpose of a hood is to collect cooking contaminants and hold

themuntiltheblowerunitcanexhaustthemtotheoutside.Therefore,it

isnecessarytosizethehoodbasedonthetypeofcookingequipment

that is being used. Whenever possible, hoods should overlap the

cooking equipment by at least three inches on each side. For island

applications, this is mandatory. The hood should also project out to

the front edge of the front burners. Finally, the height of the hood can

affect its performance. Generally speaking, taller hoods are more

suitable for professional style ranges, whereas under cabinet hoods

are recommended for standard cooking equipment.

Does the blower capacity of the hood match the cooking

equipment it is over?

RM1000 Remote Blower - Under cabinet for standard cooking

equipment, gas or electric. Wall mount or island hoods for standard

cooking equipment, gas or electric, and professional style ranges.

RM1500 Remote Blower - Wall mount or island hoods for larger

professional style ranges.

Is the hood ducted properly?

Theductshouldbesmoothwalled.Corrugatedor“ex”typeduct

mustnotbeusedasitrestrictsairow.Theductworkshouldbethe

same square inch area (or larger) as the hood discharge for the

entire length of the duct run. Run the duct as short and straight as

possible. Enlarge the duct for longer duct runs. Maintain 4 to 5 foot

spacing between turns. Turns should be smooth and gradual, not

sharp and angled. Roof jack and wall louver openings must be free

ofobstacles,atleastaslargeastheductsize,andopenfreely.

Page 7 L021

Maintenance/Troubleshooting (Continued)

Is the hood mounted at the appropriate height off of the cooking

surface?

The height of the hood off the cooking surface is very important. The

higher the hood is mounted, the less effective it will be. Hoods only

collect cooking vapors; they will not pull cooking contaminants back

into the hood if they escape unto the kitchen. Generally speaking,

the deeper the hood, the higher the hood can hang and still be

effective.

UnderCabinet9”tall 24-27”

WallMount 30”

Island 30”

LinerInserts *24-30”

*Note:therecommendedheightoffthecookingsurfaceisdependent

on the depth of the liner. In general, the deeper the liner, the higher

offthecookingsurfaceitcanbe,uptoamaximumrecommended

heightof30”.

Do the dampers open and close freely?

Withthelter(s)removed(seeHoodCleaningSection),locatethe

dampers(aps)andensurethattheyopenandclosefreely.Ifnot,

identify and remove any obstructions that are preventing the dampers

from opening. Screws protruding through the duct work are the most

common obstruction.

During installation, only duct tape should be used to connect duct

work to the top of the hood. Screws that are used to connect duct

workandtransitionsextendinsidetheductworkandmayobstruct

the dampers from opening.
